Results-driven and passionate education professional with a comprehensive background in the field of education and a focus on the Psychology of Education. A recent Honours in Education graduate from the University of Cape Town and a holder of a Bachelor of Education FET and SP Accounting & Business from the University of the Free State, I bring a solid foundation in educational principles, curriculum development, and student assessment.

My leadership experience as the Academic Chair at the University of Cape Town showcased my ability to oversee academic activities, coordinate events, and advocate for postgraduate students' academic needs in the humanities department. This role honed my organizational skills, communication abilities, and the capacity to promote scholarly engagement within a dynamic academic environment.

As a Teaching Assistant at Moemedi Secondary School in Bloemfontein, I actively contributed to classroom management, lesson preparation, and individualized student guidance in the subjects of EMS, Accounting, and Business Studies. This hands-on experience strengthened my classroom management skills and deepened my understanding of effective teaching methodologies.

My role as a Student Teacher at Sitfokotile Secondary School in Matsulu provided me with the opportunity to deliver interactive lessons, facilitate student discussions, and support main teachers in curriculum development and student assessment. This experience enhanced my proficiency in creating engaging and informative learning experiences tailored to diverse student needs.

Possessing key skills in communication, time management, leadership, and proficiency in MS Office applications, I am well-equipped to contribute to the creation, review, and updating of facilitated learning content. My language proficiency in English, Siswati, isiZulu, isiXhosa, and Sesotho adds a valuable dimension to my ability to connect with and engage diverse audiences.

Looking to transition into the role of a Junior Learning Content Writer, I am excited about the prospect of leveraging my educational background, practical experience, and content writing skills to contribute meaningfully to the Talent Enablement Product Team. With a minimum of 2 years of content writing experience, I am confident in my ability to conceptualize, design, and create interactive and engaging content for training purposes.
